🤗 Over three inspiring days celebrating the LearningPlanet Festival, the Learning Planet Institute campus became a vibrant space for research, dialogue and collective action, bringing together youth, researchers, foundations, practitioners and institutional leaders to explore how learning can shape more peaceful, democratic and sustainable futures. 📆 On January 21, the on-campus Festival opened with a one-day research workshop dedicated to a timely question: How can AI support youth-led peace-building and democratic initiatives in a challenging and unstable world? Researchers and experts engaged in in-depth discussions on the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence, exploring how emerging technologies can strengthen youth agency, foster inclusive dialogue and support democratic cultures. We had also the pleasure to host the art exhibition organised by the Global Institut for Youth art-Centre for UNESCO ✨ 📆 On January 22, the campus came alive from morning to late evening for a full day of exchanges and collaboration. The day began with a workshop on Philanthropy and Youth, bringing together foundations, networks and institutions to share initiatives and build new synergies. 👉 The Institute then opened its doors to a broader audience for a powerful programme focused on empowering learners for better futures. Inspiring panel discussions and workshops addressed key global challenges, including mental health and well-being, peace and democracy, and environment and climate. 🙏 Special thanks to the leading researchers, practitioners and youth voices who shared their precious insights!
